All about Network attached storage (NAS)
In this article i am going to give some info about Network Attached Storage (NAS). So, without any further ado we will start.
Definition:
Network-attached storage (NAS) is file-level computer data storage connected to a computer network providing data access to heterogeneous clients. As of 2010 NAS devices are gaining popularity, as a convenient method of sharing files among multiple computers. Potential benefits of network-attached storage, compared to file servers, include faster data access, easier administration, and simple configuration.
Source : Wikipedia
How it works:
NAS is a networked group of hard drives. These hard drives are connected to each other through different arrangements it can be logical, redundant storage containers or RAID arrays. They virtually remove the need for separate file sharing servers and can easily provide access to files using file sharing protocols.
For doing all this they need an Operating System. But there is no need for a full featured OS, so a stripped down version of OS is used which can handle the basic input and output operations and is light on system resources.
Example of this type of OS is FreeNAS – a stripped downed version of FreeBSD.
Uses:
Instead of using those huge and complex older systems one can use NAS to achieve more simplicity and cost-effective results. The price of NAS has decreased over the past few years so we can expect more featured NAS products in the near future at a very simple cost.
Advantages:
- Compatible with all types of OS, be it Windows or Mac OS X.
- NAS are Plug and Play systems and that means there’s a very little configuration to be done.
- It’s a centralized storage which makes it easier for the admin to maintain the whole system.
- A NAS is connected to a single network and there can be many systems connected to the NAS simultaneously, this can affect the efficiency of the data transfer occurring between the systems and the NAS.
- NAS is a shared storage and hence if quotas are not enforced by the administrator one user can hog all the storage from the quota of other users.

How to add Background Image in Thesis theme Navigation Menu header
This post is little special because with this post I will start video blogging with textual version too. In this tutorial i will explain you about How to add Background image in thesis theme navigation menu at header. I had already covered few tutorials on Thesis Nav in our Thesis Customization category.
Default Thesis navigation without any image looks like thisNow let’s start to add image in thesis nav menu. It is very necessary to choose perfect image for your nav menu because you are adding image to give special effect to your menu so it needs to be well. You need to have image having special effect and larger width.
To add image in thesis nav firstly we need to remove default thesis navigation menu. For that we need to add action in custom functions.php file, copy the code from below and paste it in custom functions.php to remove default thesis navigation menu.
To add code, login to your WordPress dashboard than go to custom file editor under thesis tab from dashboard sidebar than choose custom functions.php file to edit . I will recommend you using any FTP client for dealing with custom functions.php.
/*remove deafult thesis navigation*/ remove_action(‘thesis_hook_before_header’, ‘thesis_nav_menu’);After removing default navigation menu, we need to add another navigation menu with some more functionality. Copy and paste the code for custom functions.php to add new thesis navigation menu.
//place my custom nav above the header add_action(‘thesis_hook_before_header’, ‘custom_nav’);
function custom_nav() {
echo ‘<div id=”nav”>’;
echo ‘<div id=”nav2″>’;
echo ‘<div>’; thesis_nav_menu(); //this is default navigation
echo ‘</div>’; echo ‘</div>’; echo ‘</div>’;
};
Now just we need to add image with some more styling for that copy and paste below in custom.css for styling your nav menu
/* paste in custom.css file */ .custom #nav2{ background:url(“http://gotricky.com/Raj-Sharma/wp-content/themes/thesis_18/custom/images/nav_bar.jpg”); width:950px; height:50x; padding-left:0; float:left; } .custom .nav_container{ padding:0 0 0 0; font-weight:italic; margin-top:0.0em; } .custom .menu li{ border:1px solid #444; -moz-border-radius:3px; } .custom .menu { background-color: none;} .custom .menu ul li{ width:21.9em; } .custom .menu li a{ font-size:1.2em; }
Finlay you have your own New thesis navigation menu with background image. Don’t forget to replace your image link from the above code with your own image.
